This is a "base stock". Buy it and don't mess wtih it. Collect the dividends. Worry about your other stocks.

Another safety net stock. Should hold value up to $80 a share will move out of this stock in late 2009 if market catches fire.

Safe harbor.

Actuall, it is already outperforming the S&P. It will continue to do so because a) it makes products people use, b) it is a steadily performing company, and c) the discipline of paying a dividend.

They make goods that people need not want, therefore they will outperform in the next 2 years or so until this slowdown stops.

Colgate Total with whitening is the best toothpaste ever created. Another leader in it's industry that is going to be here for a trillion years all the while paying a dividend.

I can see the current volitility in the market running well into 2008. Come of the stocks less effected by economic downturns (CL, PG, JNJ, KMB, KO) could outperform the market. It would be a good strategy to hold a few of these as a small to medium percentage of your portfolio just in case the warnings of a possible recession come to fruition.
